    Move over void purple! WoW patch 12.1 is snakes green.

    Do you remember how last week we were talking about how voidy and purple the Midnight expansion has been? Well, hold on to your shorts, because patch 12.1 has been announced and it's acid green and snaky. We're shook, but especially Liz, who doesn't particularly enjoy snakes, and wishes there was a filter like arachnophobia mode, where all the snakes turned into crabs. There are so many new features announced already, from the new Lairs, which are sort of a new version of World Bosses, all the way to a WoW Discord integration, which we're a little skeptical is all that useful. Also not purple is the Midsummer Fire Festival, which has come to WoW until July. There are a ton of orange rewards to collect, including a very hot new mount. There are also new seasons coming soon to Diablos 3 and 4, and for Diablo 4 this includes a collab with Overwatch, bringing some of those hero skins into Sanctuary. This is just making me wonder when we'll get that Raynor skin for Druids. Or do Druids seem more like Tychus?

    Void Squabbles, Void Conflicts, Void Rap Battles, and more!

    If you thought the purplest expansion couldn't get purpler, patch 12.0.7 of World of Warcraft proves us all wrong with yet another Void-themed event. When do all these void shenanigans end? Well, we'll keep doing them, as long as transmog is on the line -- and it is! I hope you like yours purple, and I hope you didn't blow all your Marl on the previous sets of purple Void transmog. You did? Ah, pity. There's also a surfboard mount, if you're into other sorts of serious end game activities. Then, the cohosts muse on what's next for WoW Classic. We're not saying they're doing the whole historically accurate Siege of Orgrimmar 18 month tier, but we are wondering when we'll hear what happens next.

    Blizzard news and Summer Game Fest clip show

    We start off this week's podcast talking about a few upcoming things we've already sort of discussed -- WoW patch 12.0.7 is coming next week, as is the next season of Overwatch. We have a few gripes on how the Overwatch story is being delivered, but next season looks okay. We're much more enthusiastic about the stuff coming for Diablo. And then things get wild, when we start discussing Summer Game Fest, and all the new titles we're excited to see, ranging from the headline blockbusters all the way down to little murder mysteries that might not actually be murder mysteries. Plus, speaking of murders, Destiny 2 just got its final patch. RIP, too pure for this world. If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

    Currency changes and gaming announcements

    Because of the Blizzard Watch Site Curse, the day after we recorded the podcast, the release date for patch 12.0.7 was announced, because that's just how that works. It's June 16, and you're welcome. That also comes with changes to gear repair costs, which we talked about a bit last week, but Joe has a hot take that goes a step further. It's a new month, so that means a new round of FOMO transmog. This time it's Tauren edition. There was a new Hearthstone expansion announced, featuring Vanessa VanCleef, Escape from Violet Hold. A new Hearthstone expansion announcement also means the Battlegrounds mid-season shakeup, and another weird Darkmoon Faire gatcha game pet. Luckily, this time it's Cute Thun, a horrifying take on C'thun all our podcasters think is too creepy to be cute, even weird offbeat kinda cute. It's also a good time for Diablo fans, with things like solo self-found and Obol cap changes. And it's a good time for all gaming fans, because Summer Game Fest is imminent, and we've already had several announcements that have us truly excited. Plus, Cory has a soundbite idea that should make everyone happy. Sort of. If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

    Time marches toward WoW patch 12.0.7 (and new transmog)

    We start off this week's show with a shoutout to much of the Wowhead content team, who were laid off from ZAM. We have a lot of fond memories with them, not to mention their indispensable coverage over the years, and our hosts expressed a bit of consternation at what this move means in a meta sense. But, the show must go on, and time marches on, including the new Sporefall raid we'll be seeing in WoW patch 12.0.7, and new Timewalking rewards, both of which includes lot of neat transmog. We're also chatting Diablo 4 and its weirdly short events, including an upcoming event to celebrate Diablo 4's third anniversary. It starts June 2 and lasts just a week like all the others, but at least this time we have enough advance notice to tell you about it on the podcast. It includes a lot of Treasure Goblins and killing of said Treasure Goblins, so it being so short is definitely a big downer. But not as much of a downer as some of the current builds they've discussed, which can crash the game with the sheer number of minions our cohosts are packing. Plus, we bid Destiny 2 adieu, which our cohosts at least briefly tried, because it was on the Battle.net launcher for a while. Time marches forward.

    Good riddance, Midnight crest caps!

    This week we tell Crest Caps to rest in pieces as Blizzard lifts them a bit early in this opening section of Midnight. Joe gets salacious about addons and new functionality on the PTR. We all hope the Siege of Orgrimmar doesn't last as long as it originally did on any iteration of Classic. Matt throws a bit of a statistical wrench in the works, saying several other raid tiers were actually longer — but it sure didn't feel that way. And next seasonal rollover of Diablo 4 is at the end of June, so you have that long to decide whether you want to purchase all those cool tier 2 World of Warcraft crossover transmogs. Also, we're all laughing at the Krafton CEO, thinking he could get out of paying bonuses for Subnautica 2 by asking ChatGPT. Anyway, the game sold 2 million copies in 12 hours so they're definitely going to be out a ton of cash. Literally couldn't have happened to a better person.

    Ascendant Voidcores, Guardian Druids, and more bug fixes

    Because Cory has the courage to say that, quote, "bugs are bad. I'm glad they got fixed," that is the theme of this week's Blizzard Watch Podcast. Well, not all of them are really bugs -- is it a bug that five Guardian Druids did an M +20? Well, that bug was fixed. And the bug with Ascendant Voidcores was fixed, and players can use them to upgrade their gear. We had a lengthy discussion on the future of Diablo 4, which is necessarily going to touch on some bugs, even if we try our best to avoid spoilers. Also, there was a list of bug fixes and other changes for Heroes of the Storm this week, so it's a good thing Cory's here. But elevators? There's no fixing the bugs with those bosses.

    Microtransactions, and other cruel gaming indignities

    We're speculating on WoW patch 12.0.7 and beyond, now that the preview for said patch has been released. That leads us to a certain ominous island off the coast of Zul'Aman that we're not allowed to touch yet, plus all the other little details that lead us to guest host Phil Ulrich's favorite thing ever: Troll Raid. But other than that, it's all cosmetics and microtransactions. There are gorgeous new, dyeable WoW crossover appearances in Diablo 4, treehouses for WoW Player Housing, and another of those gatchas we hate in Hearthstone, all for actual cash folding money. But at least we have the glorious Trading Post and all its free hats and mounts to keep us just the tiniest bit happy in this capitalist hellscape. Speaking of hellscapes, The Cow Level is real and it is just as awful to find in Diablo 4 as you probably expect.
